God Does Not Exist Exist In Reality
1,305 wordsSaint Anselm's ontological argument seeks to provide an a priori proof (proposition which can be known or justified independent of experience) of God's existence. However, Gaunilo, a contemporary of Anselm and a fellow Catholic, argued that Anselm's ontological argument is invalid, because an argument of the same form could have true premises and a false conclusion therefore, he introduced perfect island argument which is perfectly parallel to ontological argument.

Marxism And The Labor Theory Of Value
